It Became a Time-Stop Slit-Eye

38. Slash.

In a world dyed in pitch black, Kenichi had to hold onto his sword so that it wouldn’t shake.

Otherwise, everything is made with such a great density and detailed structure that it would break.

He knew it was a space that would be destroyed if he swung his sword once, but Kenichi knew that too.

‘…… It’s overwhelming.’

Is this really the same person who learned it at the same time?

He himself is barely at the level of being swayed, but Sento has already unfolded something grand.

I knew it was unusual before, but I never thought it would be this much.

─hahahaha, Kenichi is also useful enough?

Suddenly, the sly voice of a close friend resounded in my head, but it was not particularly comforting.

Kenichi just firmly gripped his demonic sword with a sign of tension.

Just in case, don’t cut the densely structured structure of this black darkness hell.

Kenichi, who was trying hard not to cut off the magical power bound to the demonic sword, tilted his head.

‘…… mana?’

At the time when a certain strand suddenly caught in my head,

─Where are you!! Damn you guys!!

The wolf started to run amok,

“A star.”

Eris prepared a large-scale magic. After that, I seemed to hear the sound of chains rattling. Even the screeching cry of the wolf youkai.

“───The material is a dark hell, and the punishment is a jet-black crown.”

It was at that moment that the jet-black space, darkness hell, began to disappear.

Suddenly, the world brightened.

Kenichi squinted his eyes and finally looked at his friends, who were obviously tired, and saw the yokai rampaging with limbs tied in golden chains.

A ghost wolf whose whole body is not healed as if it has been damaged by the previous magic.

The guy shouted with a murderous expression.

─Let go immediately!!!

But now, there was no one here to be afraid of those words.

Sento Sawamura reconstituted the folded darkness and manifested a new magic.

The magic is a coffin made of hell.

“The shadow, the wine of punishment.”

It was a jet-black coffin to bury the enemy.

“───Hell of Darkness, Black Coffin.”

A black crown ate a monster whose entire body was tied up with golden chains.

A black pillar rising from the ground.

Or an awl.

No sound was heard.

Without any roar or brilliance, it was just heavily weighed down by the infinite darkness.

Jet-black cutting, as if only that part did not exist in the world.

Because they were cut off from the bright world, the dark existence that felt rather foreign soon disappeared.

“…… Cool.”

The caster’s body couldn’t stand it.

Sawamura Sento covered his mouth and at the same time his body shook, the black crown disappeared.

Goo Goo Goo… The finely ground ground spewed out dust as the heavy coffin was gone.

“…… Cool, cool!”

Sento frowned and vomited his blood. It was because his body felt burdened by the large-scale magic.

“Sawamura!”

Kenichi hurriedly ran to her side, but glanced sideways at the scene of dust rising over there.

Did my heart suddenly be surprised by the overwhelming genius and destructive power, or was my gaze taken away?

Are you jealous of this person?

I patted Sento on the back and threw a question into my mind that I couldn’t understand.

‘…… No, that’s not it.’

Kitagawa Kenichi shook his head.

I wish I was a genius in one field like Shiki and Sento.

I definitely have that kind of envy, but that doesn’t mean I’m resentful of Sento.

…… If so, what is it?

As he blankly stared at the dusty ground, he suddenly realized.

He could definitely cut it.

Although he was able to achieve something, it was regrettable that he couldn’t help but move.

I could have done better.

That kind of regret was left in my heart.

Since everything is over, I don’t have anything better to do now.

Kenichi gazed at the point where the black coffin rose, and made a wordless promise.

‘Next time I’ll cut it down.’

Well, if you don’t cut down your allies, it’ll be the same next time.

Kenichi smiled and tried to turn his head back to sento, but he seemed to see something in the dust.

A human figure was reflected through the dust.

At the unexpected sight, Kenichi muttered blankly with a confused expression.

“Is it true?”

Hwa-ak—The wind that blew in cleared the soil fog.

Only then was the ghost’s real face revealed, not the shadow behind the dust.

Not only Kenichi, but also Eris and Sento, who were breathing inside the barrier, had expressionless faces.

The enraged vengeful ghost growled.

“…… These f*cking bastards.”

Unlike the first encounter with the wolf monster, his whole body was full of wounds.

Both of his arms were cut off somewhere, and his right leg was missing from the knee down.

There were holes all over the body, and it looked like it was crushed somewhere.

“…… Didn’t you die from this?”

Sawamura Sento was dumbfounded.

Eris looked at the yokai without saying anything, and Kenichi, likewise, tried to despair but came to his senses.

He had a body so strong that he regretted not dying from that great spell, but he was dying nonetheless.

Only one of his limbs was fully functional, and at first glance he looked weak.

That one was obviously barely alive.

‘I can win enough.’

It’s the same for this side that we ran out of stamina, but we still had energy.

Kenichi gritted his teeth and got up from his seat.

I straightened my sword.

“…… Are you satisfied with the way I am now?”

The wolf youkai looked at Kenichi with narrow eyes and smiled.

“No, let me admit it.”

Vengeful Ghost soon shouted with an expression wet with joy.

“I thought you were just a kid! You guys are strong enough! This is enough for me to eat!”

After shouting that, the you-kai hardened his expression again like a double personality and said.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I am Kaikoku, the leader of the Obsidian Society.”

Why are you talking about that now?

Kenichi frowned and tried to run away holding his sword even tighter.

Kaikoku, the vengeful wolf, said with a broad smile.

“You should know who gets eaten. It’s pitiful if you die without knowing anything. By the way, the ability I gained from awakening as a vengeful ghost is neither a aptitude for magical power nor a physical enhancement.”

Audience——The moment he heard some unpleasant noise, Kaikoku said with a murderous expression.

“Super fast playback.”

Quad Deuk—!

In an instant, the wolf’s arms and legs sprang up.

Both arms, which had been cut off from the shoulder, sprang up without any damage, as did the right leg, which had disappeared from the knee.

It wasn’t just the limbs that regenerated at such super speed, but also the torso.

Flesh quickly filled up in the hole in the upper body, and the wound disappeared.

Just like the first time I saw it, it’s back to its original state.

Without any scars.

“…… What is this?”

Kenichi barely held on to the sword that he was about to miss.

Wolf Ghost gave off a dazzling aura from his sharp claws while giggling.

“Keuhehehe, have you had fun? Now, you too should feel true despair.”

The vengeful ghost, Kaikoku, drew his fingernails in the air with an expression of pleasure and murder.

“Bone and Meat Cutting (骨肉切斷).”

Then a semi-circular aura flew out.

Slashes that slashed anything under the steel came flying from afar.

Eris was startled, and in an instant, her magic power was released. She exclaimed with a distorted expression.

“───Expand!”

Fire magic.

Fire Wave.

Waves of flame rose from the air, swept the ground, and raged.

The red scarlet fire soon encountered a flying slash. He crushed them with his large body.

I thought I ate it as it was at the moment.

Fire—!

Through the blazing flames, an aura came out.

The size is smaller than before, but the flying momentum is still fierce.

Eris, who blinked at her moment, ran to the front of her, glaring at her.

Kenichi exclaimed in fright.

“Eris!”

“Shut up! Star!”

The star wizard hurriedly shouted and poured all the energy of the stars into the original barrier.

The translucent protective film had a golden glow.

A semicircular aura soon touched the much thicker shield than before,

Catch up ──!

It passed by making an unpleasant noise.

Eris looked at the barrier with her fingernail marks on her face, clearly tired.

She closed her eyes tightly and murmured.

“…… A star.”

A golden glow emanates from her body.

However, she was clearly weaker than when I first saw her, more than before.

The overflowing magical power has finally reached its limit.

“Oh, to stop it?”

The wolf Kai Koku just looked at her with her happy expression.

“Where did you block it once more?”

He swung her fingernails with even more force.

“───Bone and meat cutting!”

A semi-circular aura that was bigger than before flew.

Eris thickened the barrier by squeezing different magical powers all over her floor, but she was unable to see it.

The wounds on the barrier showed no sign of healing, and only the golden glow was barely maintained.

Sawamura Sento has stopped with a blank expression ever since the vengeful spirit came to life.

It was the impression that her magic power and energy were all exhausted.

She can’t stop her slash either.

Kenichi Kitagawa, who was watching them quietly, suddenly grabbed his sword.

She closed her eyes tightly.

They have been doing something ever since they entered the spirit vein and started fighting.

‘Is that what you want again?’

Isn’t that a very shameless thing?

After making up his mind, Kenichi stepped out of the barrier holding his sword firmly so as not to let go.

Eris Betelgeuse, who breathed in the energy of the stars, exclaimed in surprise.

“Kenichi!”

Kenichi didn’t answer.

He is only asking for enlightenment as he gazes at the other half-circular slashing attacks before he knows it.

What did I realize earlier?

He closed his eyes.

He followed the sensations felt throughout his body.

‘Slice.’

He swung his sword wide.

──Ichimaru Ryu, one sword and two swords.

Soon the sword and the semi-circular slash made contact, but there was no cutting sound.

Just at the moment of ‘Ben’, the aura collapsed.

Yes, I cut it.

Kenichi stopped just as he had hit him, then burst into laughter.

“───Ha ha ha!”

I finally did it.

In a crisis situation or whatever, laughter came out.

When he raised his head, the ghost wolf twitched with an expression of seeing something incomprehensible.

“…… What. How did you cut it?”

I don’t know either.

This would make me look too stupid.

Therefore, Kenichi Kitagawa straightened his sword with a delighted smile and said,

“Somehow.”
